It's transport day again! This time we have a pretty pregnant momma, a litter of prissy, floofy kittens, a sweet ginger family, a few cute kittens and a handsome man-cat -- all heading up to Forever Home Feline Ranch in Springfield, Illinois!

Let me show you the Prissy Ts first. We are calling them that because they all have prissy little names that start with T! And they are gorgeous!

These girls were rescued from Broward Animal Control in Pompano, FL. They are lucky girls who are going to find the best forever homes, I just know it! One of them, Tally, already has an adopter waiting for her up there!

The Prissy Ts: Tabitha, Tally, Tessa and Trudy.

Then we have Momma Misty. She's a pregnant lady who is one of the cats we got from the hoarder situation in Tampa a few weeks back. She was supposed to have been spayed... but you can see how that didn't happen. We she got down here, I took one look at her and said, "That cat's pregnant!"

Luckily for Misty and her future brood, the Ranch said they'd take her and love her and her upcoming babies -- and find them all homes when they are ready! What a lucky girl.

Momma Misty.

Up next next we have Tangerine and Mandarin, a mom and baby family that were also rescued from animal control. They had mange when they were at the shelter and got lots of love and care at their foster home, and now they are ready to find real forever homes! And so they're coming along!

Tangerine and Mandarin!

Next up is a three-kitten family that are just too darn cute! Dixie, Eden and Blake (his picture is not here) are little cuddlebugs that also got their ticket to the Ranch!

And last, but definitely not least, we have Roman! He is coming from a small shelter in Georgia. Cutehead (and frequent driver and sleepover spot!) Laura N. fell in love with him when she met him at the shelter, but couldn't take him in herself. He ended up on the urgents list and his time was almost up, so we asked the Ranch... and those angels said he could come along too! Hurray for Roman!

Don't you just want to plant a smooch on Roman's face?

This makes 97 cats we've helped transport so far in 2013!

Follow Along!
You can follow along with their transport today and tomorrow on Your Daily Cute's Facebook page and on Twitter using the hashtag #11cattransport. I'll be tweeting as @YourDailyCute, of course! Help us cheer these kitties on!

We kick off at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow!

Tremendous Thank You!
These cats are all safe and headed home thanks to some amazing work by many amazing people. We couldn't do any of it without our super partner in rescue, Stacey of Good Karma Pet Rescue of South Florida. Our fabulous fosters: Cuteheads Maraly and Bob W., Carie P., Beth H. and condo babysitter, Colleen! An incredible amount of gratitude is owed to our amazing vet, Dr. Seskus of East Oakland Animal Hospital.

And huge thanks to all our Cutehead drivers! YOU all make this possible. Lisa B., Dotty C., Dana K., Joni C., Laura N. (also the sleepover spot!), Tia and Helen, Laura and Cindy, and Brenda B. (who is also the Ranch's president!). What a wonderful group!

And best of all, thanks to Forever Home Feline Ranch for making it so we can save these cats by giving all these kitties their cowboy hats and welcoming them to the Ranch!

Roman is awesome! There's a perfect family waiting for him up there I'm sure, there's no way a gorgeous kitty like that should be on an urgents list - ever. Have a good transport day cuteheads and kitties!

So wonderful. The kitties (ALL of them) are so sweet looking. Happy they will have forever homes eventually. And will be safe and cared for. You do such a magnificent job....as do all the Cuteheads. God bless all!! Always keep track of the transport...love seeing the pics and hearing about it.

Hooray Dorian, and all your Cuteheads - rescuers, volunteers, pet sitters, 'mom and dad' W, all the drivers and all the wonderful adopters, and especially those great big-hearted people at The Ranch! You all do such wonderful work and it is amazing that all these kitties can be at the condo with no hassles. Fantastic jobs - again thanks to all of you. Wish I were near so I could be a driver as well, but Toronto is a long ways away. Drive safety - good luck to all. I would love to have Romeo myself, and I love those fluffers, and the whole damn lot actually. How can anyone say 'no'. Spray and neuter is the answer overall.

Every kitty pictured is absolutely purrfect. We can see why Tally already has a home. She looks like our floofy, grey Giulietta. Mom says Eden and Dixie are her favorites. Dixie's coloring is nothing like she's ever seen before. We will keep these kitties in our prayers that they all get wonderful homes. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

I spotted A Mother cat dragging her kitten through a parking lot at this hotel in St. Augustine Fla this Friday. They were scared and need help. Mother is Black and Kitten is a Tuxcedo. I am sure they are stray and scared. They went into the woods behind this Hotel.

I've never seen anything like Dixie's coloring, either. She looks like butterpecan/fudge ripple ice cream, which I'm sure is a flavor out there somewhere in the ice cream world. Bet she has kittymommas and daddies lined up to take her home already.
